Does Hannah’s achievement inspire you to take one of our London 10K (July) or Royal Parks Half Marathon (October) places?

Well done Hannah!

Happy St. George's Day🐴🏥

At St George's Hospital we take pride in our rich history and in our main entrance we have the iconic statue of the patron saint of England on his horse.

This symbolises courage and strength #StGeorgesDay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

26 big cheers from us to Marathon runner Laura 🙌🏼

How beautiful does the First Touch Garden at St George's NHS FT look in the spring?!

It’s a lovely place to sit and contemplate and to take in the flowers

16 years ago our twin daughter’s were born 10 weeks early at St George's NHS FT. I look back on that day and am filled with awe at the way my wife handled everything and gratitude to St George’s and the support they and we received from First Touch. Happy Birthday girls! #NHS

Sending our best wishes to all our colleagues and patients celebrating #Vaisakhi

Vaisakhi is a Sikh celebration marking the harvest festival and the start of a solar new year🌾

We wish you all a prosperous year #HappyVaisakhi 🧡

We are sorry that Sarah Collins is stepping down as Charity Director of First Touch after 20 years.

Sarah started her role with the neonatal charity after her daughter Izzy was born 3 months early at St George’s.

Here are some of the amazing things First Touch have done🧵

Thank you Patrick Collins for your beautiful design for The RHS It’s a lovely legacy for you and me to leave behind at St George's NHS FT and a true labour of love, Sarah x #tooting

First Touch hello First touch !
Meet twin number 1, Ivy…born at 23 w…residing in St George’s amazing NICU now aged 4 weeks…
I can’t introduce you to twin 2…Ella

Both alive only because of St George’s & our #NHS

Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim supporters and friends. Spending time in hospital away from family and friends can feel especially challenging during important festivals. Our wonderful NNU staff do everything they can to make these times still feel special. We wish you all joy ❤️

Freddie was born ten weeks early in August 2022, and spent six weeks in the neonatal unit receiving expert care.

As a ‘thank you’ Freddie’s mum Jess has decided to take part in the Battersea Park Half Marathon on May 11th.

We recently funded these sofas in the SCBU family area, thanks to a generous donation from the South family. The old ones were looking very tired and shabby. Thanks to SCBU Ward Manager Cathie for overseeing this transformation.

Happy Easter to everyone at the neonatal unit 🐰

We are giving books, chicks, fruit, treats and, of course, chocolate to all our babies and families today!

Thank you to all our supporters who selflessly donate to enable us to provide these gifts for families with babies

I took a visit to #StGeorgesHospital in #Tooting South London last week, and had the pleasure of meeting some of the team that run the wonderful First Touch charity within the NNU

The Asics London 10k takes place on 14th July and takes runners past several London landmarks. We still have charity places available and we'd love to hear from you. first-touch.org.uk/2024/02/05/run…
